The iPhone application icon generator is a free tool to create iPhone-like favicons,
apple-touch-icon png’s, and .ico files for use in windows. Upon uploading your image
and selecting the icon options, you will be shown a preview of the image as well

256×256 PNG Graphic with transparent background. (for any use)
60×60 PNG Graphic for use as a apple-touch-icon. (iPhone & iTouch)

included in .ico file)
A readme.txt file showing the proper implementation of the favicons for both normal
